Macocha Abyss

Highlight • Gorge

You can reach Macoch from two sides, go up to the parking lot and walk about 1 km, or go down to the parking lot, walk about 2 km and take the cable car up. The second option is a bigger experience, we didn't wait in line anywhere, the walk to the cable car was pleasant and you got moving. I recommend visiting both viewpoints, from the bottom you can see the very bottom of Macocha. There are fewer people during the week.

The Nature House of the Moravian Karst is not only a visitor center, but you can view an interactive exhibition here, during which you will get to know the phenomena and stories of the local karst landscape in a non-traditional way.

On the way in the Moravian Karst caves, it is very impressive what nature has created over thousands of years. Komoot took a break on the paths in the caves 😉
